Trisha Growe, executive director of Port Wentworth Chamber of Commerce, and Morris Oglesby, project manager, recently spoke to the Rotary Club of Effingham County. They provided an update on the Houston Museum Project, which includes the restoration/reconstruction of a Civil War era African-American praise house. The site is in the process of being preserved in partnership with local fundraising efforts and the help of many local organizations, including the City of Port Wentworth, the Port Wentworth Chamber of Commerce, the North Port Wentworth Citizens Council, Habitat for Humanity, the Boy Scouts of America, and the S.E.A.R.C.H. Institute.
